Hey Marge, remember when we used to make out to this hymn?

Therapy might obviate the need for an escape and is likely free in your area! And you know folks would happily look up resources for you with nothing more than a region.

Whether you want to escape, well that's up to you.

What's your process for making these works of.art?

Oh you lucky duck.

I'm fairly confident few people would choose this scheme because otherwise you would've already sold your homes and kept the difference...

How does your scheme protect from devaluation? If my home drops say, 200k but you're going to offset some of that in pensions, okay, let's put aside the lost equity, how does this stop me losing say, half the equity in my home from some random devaluation?

Providing a living pension doesn't mean I'm no longer interested in the investment I've spent 20 years paying off...

or we could free them from it and have wages rise proportionally or increase corporate taxes.

This is not a napkin calculation, this is handwaving!

I'm not you, I try.

What do you dislike about the concept of free mental health to help the things that clearly bother you?

[–] Lauchs 1 points 3 days ago

Not just not open to feedback, but not open to the feedback that he himself solicited!

Except most people aren't buying second hand, so you're complaining about a non-existent problem.

Edit: As an amazing proof of concept, I'm in a dive bar, saw a pair of gloves in a wicker basket of lost and found and asked about them. The bartender gave them to me, notinf they'd been here for more than a year. These are easily several hundred dollar gloves.

But if things really got to the point where many people were willing to buy second hand, there are in fact ethical brands as well for those who need new. Myself, I buy few things but as much as I can ethical either 2nd hand or from happy factories. (Though, goddamn I cannot find ethical boxers for a semi reasonable price. If you got tips...)

How is offering to help you find a licensed mental health professional for free trying to piss you off?

And, more importantly, you keep asking "how do you do X, Y Z?" And people keep taking time to help you out!

Oh, neat! I didn't realize that much like clothes there are ethical internet alternatives. Which do you use?

Heavy Trip (2018) (www.imdb.com)

It's a little light on the genre aspect (though there's a lot of blood a couple of times) but it's a funny, delightful and occasionally touching movie about a new Finnish band that plays "symphonic post-apocalyptic reindeer-grinding Christ-abusing extreme war pagan Fennoscandian metal."

PLUS there is a sequel coming out sometime. Usually I don't like them but an indie movie this good deserves one.

 
 

There's no wrong time; role play, dirty talk or aesthetic comparisons!

 

Just picturing an alien archaeologist "so, as they stopped being crippled by polio or losing their lives building railroads, they complained about having to wash the dishes?"

 

People also love surprises. These two bits of social insight can be combined to great effect.

 

Was about to answer the billionaires one, realized there are better ways to spend this limited beautiful moment of life than being virtually shouted at.

How about you?

 

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
